please would you dig these numbers!

my seven day average for my third week on insulin is as follows.

111 99 104 103.

the diabetic specialist doc lowered my dose once more for the second time

since March nine when I started with the flex pen. now I take 17 units morning

and evening. I did figure out why my sugars were going down in to the 70's and

80's there for five days. I was taking 2 capsules of cinnamon in the morning and

2 more in the evening. the bottle says one twice a day. they are 500 mg each and

I believe I was using to many. not saying that 70's and 80's isn't good for

most, but don't think I wish to be there right now. I think I'm better to hang

around the 90's. from the sound of the nurse I talked to after sending in my

last five days of numbers, the doc agrees. now all I got to do is figure out

some ways of more exercise to kick the weight lost in to gear. I'm eating 1000

calories a day because I don't do much at all in a physical way these days and

I'm eating right and controlling my sugar, but now it is time to up the

movement. the saw bones said I need to pick out a place in the house where I can

walk for ten minutes every hour for ten hours and continue to ride the bike. he

also said to use some small weights to build up some muscle. I will be starting

what Dean sent out last week on Monday next. the saw bones wanted to know how

much I weighed, so I had to weigh for him and the scales says only 2 pounds

since on 3-9 they said 312. well now I will admit that only 2 pounds in 3 weeks

of doing good is a bit on the sad side. not going to allow it to get me down

though. been there and all ready done all that before. I will increase my

walking and add a bit of the weights Dean sent to us. I will admit my scales and

his scales may be off a bit, but I did weigh on my scales here at home after I

come home from his office on the ninth and they was close to the same. I was as

well dressed the same and the shoes were as well the same. on the ninth I will

weigh again and we will see who the winner of the $20 bill is. that isn't all

that far away and if 2 pounds is what I have actually lost, then I can't see

losing much more then 2 more. I believe I have how ever lost a inches or so. my

extra pounds has been with me for many years and I can tell they aren't agreeing

to move out and stay away. the break up between us is going to get nasty and

ugly from what I can tell right now! I may have to get an eviction notice and

have them served! I did let them move in and the law does say that once you

invite some one in your home, they don't have to leave when you tell them to.

the law says here in Oklahoma that they can stay as long as they wish simply

because you invited them in to stay a while, so looks as if I may have to get

mean with these unwanted pounds of fat that aren't moving out as I wish! just

got to get as nasty of an attitude as they have and get down and dirty!

Mark, that's the spirit. I think I'll check into eviction notices

myself. I should be able to write one up and email it to each pound

that I target as a goner. What a great idea! Thanks.

you know? they say the proof is in the pudding. doing it right now just as I

have begun is the easy part of the journey. to me the real test lies in over the

long haul as you guys have done and are still doing. getting started off on the

right foot I have done more times then I wish to count, but staying the course

over a long stretch of time is the real test. way to many times in my pass have

I stumbled over the first bump in my trail and fell off course to sooner then

later get off track all together. right now for me 3 weeks is grate! I know the

journey I'm on is simply put a life and death journey. I put off doing the right

thing way to long. actually I put it off so long that I now have damage to my

heart from the neglect that I chose. no one to lay any of the blame on but me

and I do except that responsibility. as it looks now from looking at me from a

few steps away, I got another chance to shape up and stay on the trail laid out

for many diabetics to follow. I not only plan to remain on the tath, but I will

remain on the path as long as I'm able to move about on my feet. use to in my

many failures in the past my attitude was so what if I can't stay on track and

tie more then 5 good days together. I will try later when my head is screwed on

right. for now I just won't worry about it. this was how I looked at controlling

my diabetes. well that last trouble with the A fib problem done the trick for

me. it really did get my attention and scare the crap out of me. I would have

thought the heart attack and everything else that came with it for one month in

the hospital would have done the trick for me and it did for a period of maybe 4

months. part of my attitude back then in 07 was I all most died, so I should

live it up and enjoy what life I got left and this simply mint tie on the feed

bag and eat all I wanted and the hell with checking my sugar. I had my meter and

I did poke my finger now and then to see what it was, but never did a reading of

250 mean anything important for me. I felt fine, so I told me that the meter was

who had the problem. when I found out I was a T 2 in 02, I never thought it was

a thing to worry over. I told my self the bad things that happen do to poor

sugar control only happen to the type one's and never to a T 2. I told me that

only being over weight was the problem and I was pretty much correct thinking

this way, but I never set my mind to dropping the extra weight. I continued on

doing the same thing as always before and hoping for different results. I truly

figured I had lots of time to do what had to be done to lose the extra pounds,

so enjoy life as normal and concern your self over these matters to morrow. as

you all know as I now know, we diabetics and even those that haven't heard they

are a diabetic yet, run flat out of time to stop the bad things that do happen

from poor blood sugar control. my time finally ran out 5 years later in 07 on

August first when I had the heart attack in bed at 9-30 pm that night. it done

25% damage to the left side of my heart. the emergency room doctor's were saying

my blockage was so bad that I would be in the operating room with in a few

hours. well I have no clue why they changed there mind and I waited to have the

by pass on Saturday morning the fourth of August. some one who was preparing me

for the operation told me I was very lucky I woke up when I did the night of

August first. he said 65% of those who have a heart attack the size I had that

does the kind of damage it done never wakes up to live to have a by pass

operation. I told the fellow I didn't believe in luck and the truth was I was

blessed. no one had to tell me why the heart attack had happened. I knew it was

my high sugars caused simply from not caring enough about my life or my health.

thinking the bad things only happened to childhood diabetics and not a T 2.

putting off what life style change I should have made the same day I heard I was

now a diabetic. living with the same bad attitude I had for most of my life and

ignoring the scales where ever I weighed when the numbers said I was to over

weight. all this was pointers to why I was where I was getting ready for a by

pass operation. that month was hell to say the least. every kind of set back you

can think of I had some. got new monya, got a blood infection, run a fever of

106, and to top it off my pocket that my heart lives in filled up with fluid and

my heart stopped for 26 minutes. they did bring me back to the living world

after they busted half my ribs and made my week old wired up chest hurt more.

the male nurse that was there jumping up and down on my chest that night of

August 15 at 9-30 pm said I was a very blessed man and a marical in his opinion.

he said God just wasn't finished with me in this world, even though I had gave

up on my own life by not doing what was right. I knew what he was saying was

right and I truly was once again a blessed man. but after 29 days in the

hospital I still got out and went right back to living life the way a over

weight out of shape person will do. I learned nothing and all I needed to know

was right there looking me right in the face. it is hard for me to even look

back on those days and wonder how could I be so blind and not care? I still

can't figure out how I come so close to not being here and that alone didn't

scare the crap out of me! of course I know that I and my attitude of then was a

normal way to think and live for many folks. some people go through worse then I

did and they still never face the truth or the facts of death is coming if you

don't make a life style change and most important is getting your attitude where

it needs to be. maybe this is why we got so many books now out on the market

that gives us every type of being healthy you can think of. no matter how you

wish to believe about your health, you can buy a book that will meet your

personal needs and tell you to live the life style you wish to live. it may not

be the right way or the true facts, but there is a book to buy on how to live

and be healthy and do it your way. some friends of mine tell me to get my story

out there! well I never would listen to any one and nor did I listen to good

advice from those who did have a clue and knew where they were coming from. I

even knew my self being 100 pounds over weight and eating as much as I wanted at

any time was wrong. I knew not exercising every day was wrong, but still I made

the choice to ignore it all. the million dollar question is and still will be

for me, is why? how come did I ignore the truth and choose to continue the

course of a destructive life style? Why was my attitude the bad things happen to

others and not me? Why did I think I had all the time in the world to change?

Why did I simply ignore those people who was trying to help me and who truly

cared about me? I'm not sure if any of us can answer any of these question

right. maybe our life is simply for all these types of situations. maybe we are

given this life to learn from mistakes like I made from ignoring the facts. we

all have free will to choose our own way and do as we wish. it isn't always the

right choices that we will make, but it is all our choice to make as an

individual. I'm sure our life is planned out and if we choose to follow the one

who put us here, then we will carry out our life plan, but I also believe we can

make bad choices and get away from the plan layed out for us and end up hurting

our self and we always end up doing it the hard way, simply because we think our

way of doing things is the best way. some folks figure it out earlier then

others like me. I have spent many hours wondering why this is so? the only thing

that makes any sense to me is they chose to make a better choice or the right

choice when faced with the truth in front of them and I had the same right

choices to also make in my life and I made the wrong choices. now that I did

make the wrong choices I now have to live with them and what ever came from them

I also have to live with. it's not that Joe Blow was smarter then me or more

blessed, it was his will to choose as it is my will to choose. he made the right

choice and I made the wrong choice, but in the end we both are put here in our

life to grow and learn from choices we make. nothing any of us can do to change

any hurt or damage we get from a bad choice. it is for us to live with and

except it for what it is and know it was our choice to make. we can do better to

day and make the right choices to day. if we do it right to day, then to morrow

will take care of it self when it gets here. our attitude to morrow has a whole

lot to do with the attitude we have to day. the attitude we had yesterday don't

matter any more except for looking back at it to see if it was a good or a bad

attitude and learn from it if it wasn't. it all goes to show us all that living

with a bad attitude as a child and in to adulthood can and does determine the

out come of your future. this big old belly I got coming through the door before

the rest of me is living proof of bad choices I made in my past. I do think

there is a small percentage of folks that are over weight do do a medical

condition that can't be helped, but these folks are rare. I do think back of how

my life could have turned out if I would have made better choices way back when?

then my life may be different to day because of the choices I would have made

then instead. I will never know because we can't bring yesterday's back to make

any different choices. it has took me 55 years of my life so far to finally

realize that my to day's will soon be all my yesterday's and all my to morrows

will be today in only 24 hours. I can now with my right attitude control to day

what I can control with good choices and to morrow will take care of it self

from those choices I make to day. as you can all now see I have for the first

time in most of my adult life tied more then 25 days together because simply the

result of good choices made in 25 days that are all now yesterday's. it is a

whole lot just to cool in my opinion and how I can now look at it all. to bad I

couldn't figure it out way back before any of this happened, but it is what it

is and nothing is going to change yesterday. we just get one day at a time to

live and we each have a free will to live it as we wish. most of us are also in

charge of every choice we make in life. I Pray out there if any one is headed

down the same path I traveled for way to long, that they will learn from the

mistakes I made from making bad choices and see what it gave me for a gift that

I really don't want or need, but it is mine to keep because I ask for it when I

did. Now it is time to jump off the pc that loves to ramble and go do my ten

minute walk, which I might add makes me more tired and out of breath then does

my bike for 30 minutes.

please would you dig these numbers!

my seven day average for my third week on insulin is as follows.

111 99 104 103.

the diabetic specialist doc lowered my dose once more for the second time

[Guest guest]

Yes, Mark, you can say this is the easy part, implying it will be more difficult

later, but in truth, this first leg is pretty difficult also. I know, once

you've managed to change the way you think and appreciate the results, this will

have a positive effect. Thus allowing things to be a little easier than you may

think down the road.

As you like to say, one day at a time!

Hi.

Just be careful when u start excersising as your blood sugar can drop

so be careful.

Your averages sound very good though.

Keep up the good work.
